How 'forced financing' makes some car dealerships more money

Jump

  • Nothing stopping you from getting the financing price and then just paying off the loan right away.

    • In the store, I sometimes encounter containers (e.g., beer, water, shampoo) with a volume of 618ml. Why exactly this number?

    Jump

  • Possibly started with a different volume then through shrinkflation ended up at 618 mL

    • Finding room for carry-on baggage has become 'the Hunger Games' of air travel, analyst says

    Jump

  • It was mentioned in the article that some airlines have invested in baggage tracking as well. I know I would be a lot more comfortable checking a bag if I weren't risking not having my bag at the destination.

  • That is so twisted and sad

    • Mint is going away, but these easy budgeting apps can take its place - The Verge

    Jump

  • I left mint a while ago. Just started to feel more and more weird about having to give log in info to my financial institutions. Especially once most of them started needing 2FA.

    • Where else on the web does everyone hang out?

    Jump

  • Also I'm curious about Discord, when people say they hang out there, do they just find a channel they like and keep up with the chat all day?

    I think so. I'm in a few discords, but don't really keep up with it. However, people seem to be active in them.

    • Braid is getting an Anniversary Edition remaster on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Netflix

    Jump

  • Was definitely a neat platformer when it was released. I definitely don't need to play it again, but if more people get to experience it, then that's probably a good thing.

    • Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta ask for extension of carbon tax exemption

    Jump

  • The person you're responding to can't see the difference between the people who live in a province and their political leaders... while living in a province that voted in Doug Ford.

    • Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta ask for extension of carbon tax exemption

    Jump

  • Good point. I'm not familiar enough with the cost of heating oil. The cynic in me can definitely see this as a political move to shore up votes in Atlantic Canada.

    • Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta ask for extension of carbon tax exemption

    Jump

  • Both natural gas and heating oil contribute co2 emissions. One just got a carbon tax exemption for some reason. Not sure what your blind hatred for Alberta has to do with inconsistently applied carbon tax rules.

    • Who is the real Buffy Sainte-Marie?

    Jump

  • She was definitely claiming to have been born in Canada. I guess nobody dug deep enough until now.

    • Who is the real Buffy Sainte-Marie?

    Jump

  • I got that reference

    Jump

  • They literally have her Massachusetts birth certificate. There is nothing tying her to being indigenous except her wanting to be perceived as such.
